sneak peak

Here is a sneak peak at my mother in laws quilt:

Sorry the picture is flipped.  I'm trying this out on our Mac and I haven't quite figured out how to do the pictures.

lunch bag

Months ago my sister in law asked for a drawstring bag similar to one I had made for her daughter.  She wanted it a little bigger and with a pocket for her wallet and keys.  Here is the finished bag:

This red butterfly fabric makes me smile. :)  The pattern was an Amy Butler pattern that I modified to include the pocket inside and make it big enough for her lunch.  I think it is fun!! 

Projects on the Go

I have two quilts to make in the next bit.  Here is a sneak peak of them:

Since school starts in two weeks I need to get working.  I have three classes this fall which is a first for me.  My youngest is now in grade one so I am able to have all day to do school.  

The pink and purple combo is for my new niece and the blue/green is for my husbands cousins son.  My mother in law would like to send something handmade.  I hope they turn out to be real treasures. 

Day 158 Card Recipe 4

Alas I was not able to finish the rest of the card recipes for day 5 and 6.  I need to finish my final exam in my class today and tomorrow so I will be busy.  After tomorrow though I am free of school for a month!! :)  I hope to complete some sewing projects in the next couple of weeks so be sure to come back and check them out.

On to the card:

The Recipe:

5x5 Card

This is my favorite by far.  I love it!  Hope you enjoy it as well.  The image is from Sweet n' Sassy stamps.  It is a digi stamp and it makes me think of spring.
